Georgetown, Texas is a rapidly growing city located about 30 miles north of Austin in Williamson County. Often called the 'Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas,' Georgetown boasts a stunning Victorian-era downtown square listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city sits along the South San Gabriel River and is home to Southwestern University, Texas's oldest institution of higher learning. Georgetown has experienced explosive population growth over the past decade, attracting families and retirees alike with its blend of small-town charm and modern amenities. The Sun City Texas master-planned community has made it one of the top retirement destinations in the nation. Despite rapid development, Georgetown has worked to preserve its historic character and natural assets, including Blue Hole Regional Park and the Georgetown Lake area. The local economy is diversifying with tech and manufacturing employers relocating from the Austin metro, offering residents shorter commutes and lower costs of living while maintaining proximity to Austin's job market and culture.
